ANOTHER TRIUMPH.
California Secures the Contract for Build
ing Another Steel Cruiser.

iCopyi3h, 1887, by 1te California Associated Press
WAsHINGTcN, August 15.h.-ISpecial i The
Union Iron Works was to-day awarded the CON
tract for the construction of cruiser No 5 for
81 ,42SO00 This vessel win be built according to
the Navy Departments plans for the hull and
nineteen knots per hour must be developed by
the contractors. On the trial test a penalty OF
$4,000 is exacted for each quarter knot of failure
in speed, and premiums of the same amount sre
given for each quarter-knot in excess of the
required speed. To Mr.. Irving NJ. Scott belongs
the credit for securing the construction of this
cruiser on the Pacific coast and the arguments
presented by him to Secretary Whitney were
unanswerable. The law provided that one of
the vessels should be DONE in the Presidents
Judgment at q fair cost. While there was only
difference OF $4,000 between Scott's bid
and that of Cramp on the Depart
ments plans, the latter made a special
bid s7SG00 less than Scott, and contracted to
build one of these cruisers, for which the De-
partments plans are identical, at $4,000.
Cramp expected to obtain everything in the
shape of Government work. and he seems to
have been badly left The Presidents popular
ity on the Pacific coast, it il believed, will be
greatly augmented by his discrimination in fa-
vor OF most of the industries west of the Rocky
mountains
Scott to-day read the following telegram;:
California rejoices and joins in our eongratu-
lations. UNION IRON WORKS"
The name OF the new vessel has not been de-
cided upon, but Scott endeavored to induce the
President to give the cruiser California name
as other cruisers have been named after Eastern
cities. 1t would seem appropriate that cruiser
No should be called the "San Francisco"
To-morrog the model of the Charleston, now
being built at the Union Iron Works will be
shipped to San Francisco for exhib ton This
model had been promised for exhibition at the
Minneapolis State Fair, but Scott arranged with
the managers OF that institution to forego their
claim to this model and take two others in the
Department

THE DECEASED STATESMAN.
An Eastern Journals Review of Ex-Min-

WASHINGTON, August 15th-[Specialt-Th
Erentng Star, speaking editorially of Senator
Sargents death, Gays: when President Arthur
sent him to Germany as Minister, he was the
victim of a blunder in the editorial work of the
state Department, which caused the publica-
ton of a very frankly y-worded confidential dis
patch among the ordinary Consular correspond
enee from the monthly report. This was copied
into the North German Gazette, which in its own
ignorance OF American usage and its anxiety to
do something disagreeable to our representative,
assaiied Sargent for his discourtesy to the In
per1ai Government and in conducting an edi-
torial correspondence with newspaper The
dispatch in question unfortunately exposed the
secret OF the German Introduction of American
pork and proved the hollowness of Bismarcks
pretense thatwe were introducing diseased pork
into Germany, by showing not only that our
pork was not diseased, but that German pork
itself was accountable for ali the damage
claimed. For this and for following literally
the instructions of the State Department In
presenting to the German Foreign Office instead
of 10 the Reichstag, the resolutions of our House
of Representatives, on the death of Deputy
Lasser, his life was made so uncomfortable at
Berlin that he resigned his mission. But, what
ever wss thought of him abroad his conduct
was evidently approved at home, for he re-
eeived the unusual compliment of the nomina-
ton 10 another diplomatic post-that of Minister
to Russia-and its unanimous and instant con-
tirmation by the Senate. He persisted in his
determination, however, to retire, and since
then has dropped out of sight

tickets draw 1927 900, twenty-seyen tickets

REDWOOD CITY, August I5th.-Last Saturday
Coroner Ross was notified that the body of a
man was seen on the beach near San Mateo.
The body was found under bluff on the south
shore OF Big Coyote Island. 1t was brought to
this place aud an autopsy held this afternoon,
which disclosed bullet in the brain A close
examination of the ground near where the
C. rpse lay shows no signs of g struggle, though
several dark spots closely resembling blood
stains were found on the rocks on the side of
the bluff The absence of any frearm dispels
the suicide theory; 1t is thought the man was
shot and dragged TO the bluff and thrown of,
striking on the projecting rocks and causing the
blood-stains. The deed could not have been
done many hours previously, as the wound in
the head was bleeding freely when the body was
discovered. The coat pockets were turned in
side out as il the man had been robbed when
killed. Nothing v as found by which it could
be identified. 1t was dressed in a neat suit of
dark blue clothes, shirt of the same color hair
and moustache gray, height about five feet ten
